Odd noise...

Z4NM · 15-02-2009, 09:35 PM

Hi Guys,

Just started the car as I needed to move it and noticed a noise I haven't heard before.

It appears to be from under the car, and the best way to describe it is that I sounds like water boiling!?

Guess it is something from the exhaust/cat. Anyone else had a noise like this??

Thanks in advance.

Nick

I get a kinda swishing/gurgling noise, think its the gallons of fuel getting pumped through.

You should get a whirring noise when you turn the key....is it that.

I think it is more like the gurgling noise Bryce mentioned.

Just hadn't noticed it before.

Thanks for your replies.
